MEMPHIS VS NASHVILLE

[inappropriate18]

Chuck Benson is currently being investigated by UT's compliance office regarding Tyler Smith's recruitment. I don't know if his father is implicated or not, but I don't think Smith played much for the Travelers. I could be wrong.

AFO, In what capacity do you serve in the SE Elite organization. Are you the head person, if not who is?

Assistant coach, parent, and affiliate who has worked closely with those (coaches and admin) who have built the 14U and 15U programs. I am not the head person. There are several point persons for each age group.

As Mr. B mentioned and others, the reason why midstate can't compete with Memphis is because of work ethic. Today, if you go to a community center in Nashville, TN, you will not find a soul with a basketball working on their game. As far as combining, its a very good idea. IF you decide to make this plan work, the key component of doing this is EXPOSURE. YOMCA,Memphis Pump N' Run, and Midstate Ballerz all play in bigtime exposure tourneys. There are alot of kids who had the talent to play D-1, but didn't play in any exposure tourneys. That's why some of the states best players flock to travel teams because of endorsements and what a Nike, Reebok, Adidas team has to offer, which is free travel and many bigtime tourneys. Good luck because it can be a beautiful site. Midstate, Thunder, Stallions, doin a great job this summer. Memphis in general, keep reppin. You guys are havin great summers.

Didn't he play for Mark Komara's team out of Huntsville? I thought that was the connection between Smith and Jackie Butler.

The team out of Huntsville is the Southeast Elite. Smith does play with that team.
